- Well this is Day 31 of remix a day challenge, and what better way to celebrate than with Sly & The Family Stone's "Hot Fun In The Summertime" a #2 Hot 100 for two weeks in October of 1969. The song that kept them out of the top spot, The Temptations "I Can't Get Next To You" a worthy opponent that they call out when Rose sings "I Cloud Nine when I want to".
Sylvester wrote the song to celebrate the warmest season of the year by talking with the group members and pieced it together using several ideas. Jerry Martini explains, "At the time, everybody including Motown acts started jumping on our vocal style. So there are two lines in "Summertime" about that, "I cloud nine when I want to" was aimed at the Tempts and the line that goes "bum buh bum bum when I want to" was Sly telling everybody "I know you are copying us, but we only do stuff when we want to."
The Family Stone continued to mine gold with "Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin" but the mood within the group was turning dark and it creatively manifested itself with that single and then "Family Affair" the darkest of all hitting the #1 spot. The hits dropped off after that but Sly kept relevant in the 80's by playing guitar on Jesse Johnson's "Crazay" a #53 pop hit.
Janet Jackson was three years old when "Summertime" came out and it had her jumping up and down. She describes it as the biggest musical influence on her life.
I'm typing this because it's the beginning of the summer of 2024 {6/21/2024}. So who's listening to this gem today?
Me, 73, class of 1969. Today is my 55th class reunion. Best times, best music ever. I am grateful!
It's the end of summer in Florida, but still some warm days. This is one of my all time favorites, especially this "Purrrfection" Version. btw. I read up on Sly a few years ago, and he seems like a really nice guy. Glad he did so well with this and some others.
I still listen to this..
This extended version's sunny vibe is perfect for the summer!
Only one thing can make this remix version better is by extending it even more 5 minutes is just a little too short for this song jmo
I graduated in 69and sly is perfect for VOTING MIDTERMS AND TEMPS ARE IN THE 80's I 'm feeling good about the Democrats.
It's Dec 17, 2023 at 5 am and I'm an American living in Vienna, Austria. I'm 67 years old and it's almost Christmas and I'm loving this heat wave brought by any Sly song lol! The deep vocals, the horns, Sly always bring the funk and I just can't sit still. I've got to dance in my chair these days, but still dancing!
What do you do in Austria,
What do you do in Austria,
This is one of the old anthem song to play at a cookout in a park back in the day with family and friends I love this song
Summer of '69 forever with this song! I was six years old when this song came out. The carefree childhood summers! :-)
I was six, too. #63
Me too, July 63.
Same here. About to start first grade,but not my first year of school - went to Headstart in '68.
Beautiful oldie just wanna get in my car and go for a long cruise
Oh yeah!!!
Everything was good
Fun
Yes, me too!
Me too, let's go!
This song just melts like butter within my soul 💛
GenX will never know what they missed out on regarding Sly and The Family Stone at their peak from 1967-1971
Edit: GenX, no need to cry about something you didn't experience first hand and relying on your parents isn't the same experience
OK Boomer!! Lol.
We are all still enjoying Sly. Timeless songs
@@jasonraymond7907 don't be rude, ok? Just enjoy
Hey, we're the last generation that even still cares for music. I'm gen X and at least I care enough to want to listen to music before my time. It's the new gen that only copy each other and stagnate.
Gen X here. My Pops introduced me to Sly and the Family Stone as a kid. I'm thankful for that. This still gets the party going.
Love those memories
one of the greatest summer songs of all time! Thanks!
1969 I was nine yrs old when this song was out Hot Fun In The Summertime. Yes, indeed my oldest sister had their album and the 45rpm record! No matter how old I'm getting I still love this song 2 this very day!
I grew up in San Francisco during the 60s. I was in junior high school I believe my foggy memory. I belong to a Motley group of out cast bikers and hippies and Chinese and jocks. We didn't believe in clicks so we just hung out and listen to Sly Stone on the old portable record player. And got high when we could
Vallejo, CA's finest. One of the reasons growing up in the Bay Area in the 60s and 70s was almost magical.
I have not heard this song since I was in high school during 1969. Sly & The Family Stone has other great songs. This song was well-extended.
Larry Graham and the spin off band Grand Central Station Amazing so much talent in one room
Absolutely love this group… I just think they were unique for their time, some top of the chart songs as well love this one very much
Fabulous the summers were different back then simple and other worldly 😘
They were weren't they? And they seemed to last longer too. Ahhh. Summer ☀️
This “Summertime” is MORE “Hot” and MORE “Fun” THAN EVER-Thanks to the “Sly” GENIUS of the ONE & ONLY D-Cat!!! Once again-you come thru,Cat!!!
He did indeed!

Sly's... The man the genius and a great friend
Always a sensational classic that reminds me of a special person. A time full of memories during 1969, and the fun that occurred. The joy that was captured to the heart filled emotions, and her stunning beauty that was permanently stained in my mind. Thanks for this extended version!
Embrace the memories of the time !! So much good music coming into being during that time. As far as the chick is concerned... her youthful beauty was certainly a gift to appreciate.
Sly Stone would thank you for putting his organ higher up in the mix!
this is my jam right here so happy and up beat 💓 love it hot fun in the summer time a true classic jamie
Loved this song when i was a kid. Still love it!!
I was a very young teen in this era, but loved the music! Sky Stone was the first album I ever bought (white rural southern child who just knew good music.)
Im drinking me a glass of 🥂 sitting in my back yard chilling listening to this song Hot fun in the summertime mix I love it❤️
Me too!
I'm an old head now but to be a kid in the summer hearing this song was priceless. I've always wished this song was just a little longer and now I found it. Thanks, DJDiscoCat and RUclips for making it happen.

Perfect timing. Ready, Get Set, GO!💚💙
SLY and The family Stone were a great socially conscientious group. Listen to Everyday People, Sing a Simple Song, Family Affair, You Caught Me Smiling for a small sample.
Nailed it!
@@kellywilson6023 🙂🤭 . I meant to add Somebody 's Watching You. !!!!! ☮️💚
When I was a young man I use to use to say step over your fear and come get to this! Now I am a 77 year old when I see a hot 60 year old I say the same thing lol 😂🎉🎉😂😅
Super Classic Thank You Friend🙏🙏🙏 🌹🌹🌹
You kill this mix
Excellent remix of a incredible classic
And it was fun in the summertime in the 60’s and 70’s
Oops, you did it again 😁, The perfect track to match today's weather here in the Northeast. I. Can't think of a more perfect selection and then you gave it that Midas touch, that's all he wrote.. brilliant! Kudos Dj!
Cool 😀
What a way to listen to Sly and Family Stone's Hot Fun In The Summertime during the best time right now with the nice weather as always. Thank you DJVideoCat for uploading up on RUclips channel. You can always have a nice day as always for sure!
Love this song - happier times, for sure! ... heading off to find me a county fair!
Great song. Good job. Awesome Channel!
Awesome! Very enjoyable.
Masterfully done sir!
Love this chilled out version ❤
Reminds me of playin' and partyin' on NYC streets WAY back when...
I'd have to claim this from Sly and the Family Stone as my most favorite of their musical legacy. And btw DJDiscoCat, you've been able to make most of the "cloud nine" portion of the tape that prior remasters have attempted and in short measure gotten better. Your remaster of tape or digital file is clear and most clean of all. Show them all how it's done. Thank you for re-presenting this bon bon to us all.
Fantastic! Love the instrumental sections. Really nice.
A MASTERPIECE!!!!
Fantastic! Just fantastic! Thank you Disco Cat for making my favorite song even longer!
Beautiful just Awesome 👏💃🏼

Excellent!
Sly One of the best songs ever 👍
I wish I could go back to 1969 when I was in High School just for a day. I’d be at the California beaches again♥️
I LOVE the instrumental part that was included in what is already great song.
These songs are so good
Childhood ❤at its finest.. I’m so happy I grew up with an imagination..
Great mix. And many folks have never heard this song in stereo, because the stereo mixes were lost when it was time to press the record. Thanks!
@@dianeclay7368 All pressings of this song are monaural. I'm quite well aware that the concept of stereo has been around since the 1930's. You've misunderstood my point, and you're only insulting yourself.
Wow. Hit Deep on this one, flash back to back yard parties, all my mom's new friends, she came out in '71, so we went to lots of different people's homes, usually beer and sodas, a grill going with dogs or burgers, lots of drunk women, sometimes a fight would break out, girls are tough, those gurls were anyway. and the caramel closes back up
❤❤ This song makes me happy 😊
I've been wanting a longer version of this since the early 70's!! Thank you Cat!
Love this extended version. I've listened to others, but this one is just fabulous!
Very nice
Maravilha!
Perfect remix! The song needs to be 1 month long.
I love the grove of the song
What's a "grove"?
I love hearing the trumpet blowing with the constant piano hammering outward to a well kept-classic song!!Excellant!!!!
“Out of school.” Freedom, fun, friends.
On the playlist every June 21...
Blast from the past
Love Your Channel❤️
Brings back great memories!!❤
Love it! Go Sly
